"Okay okay wait." Yoongi said while pacing. "There is no way this is real."

"But it is hyung." Jungkook stated while tying a bandana around his head in the mirror.

"What are you doing?" Jin asked as he came out of the bathroom.

"I'm gonna go out."

"Uh, you thought wrong." Jin snapped back before pulling the bandana off the boy's head.

"But hyung~"

"No." Namjoon stated. "We have to stick together."

The television lit up with a blue screen.

This is not a test, this is your Emergency Broadcast System. Announcing the commencement of the annual purge sanctioned by the U.S. Government. Weapons of class four and lower have been authorized for use during the purge. All other weapons are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime (including murder) will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire, and Emergency Medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. When the purge concludes. Blessed be our new founding fathers and America. A nation reborn. May God be with you all.

"I thought this was only in movies!" Taehyung cried as the sirens blared; signaling the start of the yearly event.

"You think a lot of things that end up being wrong." Yoongi commented as Taehyung cried.

"I-I'm too young to die! I haven't boughten enough Gucci!"

Jimin was pulling on Namjoon's sleeve; he had been since the announcement began.

"What is it Jimin?" Namjoon asked, clearly annoyed.

"Jungkook." He said softly.

Namjoon's head snapped to where the boy should've been.

"You've got to be kidding me." Jin stressed as the six boys walked along the empty street.

"Namjoon!" A voice called out.

He turned to see a familiar face.

"Irene." He sighed in relief.

"Are you crazy? Why are you out here?"

"Jungkook ran off."

"So did Yeri."

"Typical Yeri." The rest of Red Velvet commented before receiving a glare from Irene.

"Maybe we should stick together, we might be able to find them."

Namjoon nodded before the two groups began covering ground together.

---

"You're an idiot."

"I wanted ice cream!" Yeri complained while Jungkook checked the corner.

He then grabbed her hand and began to run down the street.

All Yeri did was giggle before he pulled her behind a public fountain.

Her cheeks became a dark shade of pink.

They were really close.

She had never been that close to a boy before.

"H-Hey, what if we die?" She asked nervously.

He checked above the fountain before crouching again and looking at her.

"That's not gonna happen. I've played enough Overwatch that I know we won't die." He said confidently before she sighed.

"B-But if we die, don't you think you should do something you've never done?"

"Like what?"

"K-Kiss me, Jungkook."

Jungkook smiled.

"No thank you."

"W-What?"

"If Jin-hyung taught me anything it was that manners go a long way. So no thank you. Please do not try to kiss me."
